Andre: You'll excuse my nervousness but it's my first experience as a spy.
Scott: It's my first experience as a traitor. (edit) Andre: You drive a hard bargain.
Scott: On the contrary, I consider it extremely generous. (edit) Daniel (to Mingo): I hate to tell you this but you're probably the worst cook in the world outside of myself. (edit) Andre (to Scott): The word of a traitor must always be suspect. (edit) Scott (to the Rangers in the tavern): Back to the post or I'll have every mother's son of you in irons. (edit)

In this episode, Daniel and Mingo apprehend the traitorous general and his British liaison, Major John Andre, but in real life the general (Benedict Arnold) escaped and made his way to the British lines. Major Andre, however, was apprehended and hanged as a spy.
(edit)
This episode is an obvious re-working of the Benedict Arnold story right down to the use of the name of the real life British officer, John Andre, who served as the liaison between the British and Arnold. One wonders why they called the traitorous general Hugh Scott instead of Benedict Arnold.
